Canning RIGHT WRONG WRONG
Canning element accessory, Model A145, makes it possible to use large oversized, flanged
or rippled bottom canners with conventional coil cartridge.
Follow These Procedures When Canning
• Bring water to boil at HI setting; after boiling has begun, reduce heat to lowest
setting that will maintain boiling.
• Make certain canner fits over center of surface unit.
• Flat-bottomed canners give the best canning results.
• Use canning recipes from a reputable source such as the manufacturer of your
canner, manufacturers of canning jars and the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
• Remember that canning is a process that creates large amounts of steam. Be careful
and follow equipment instructions to avoid burns from steam or hot canners.
• Remember that if your area has low voltage at times, canning may take longer
than indicated by the directions.
Cleaning the Conventional Coil Cooktop
The cooktop cartridgedoes not need to be removed for normal cleaning.
Never immerse cartridge in water to clean. This can damage wiring. A drain hole
within the cartridge permits drainage of normal spills into the porcelain grill basin
where it will drain into the grease container. Bottom of cartridge may be wiped clean
with detergent solution if necessary.
Cartridge terminals, if dirty, may be polished with S.O.S. pad, but must be cleaned
thoroughly of soap and dried thoroughly before being inserted into the cooktop.
Heating Elements: Under normal conditions, most soil will burn off elements.
The heating elements unplug for your convenience in cleaning the drip pans.Lift
slightly and pull away from receptacle. DONOT IMMERSE IN WATER. To replace
elements, push completely into the receptacle. Make sure the elements fit flat.
Drip Pans-" TO keep the like-new appearance, clean frequently and never allow
anything to burn on twice. Removesoiled pans (first remove heating element). Clean
lightly soiled pans with soap and water or clean in dishwasher.Difficult to remove
spots can be cleaned by rubbing lightly with soapy S.O.S. pads or nonabrasive
cleansers such as Bon Ami. To help release burned on soil, soak in a solution
of 1/2 cup ammonia and 1 gallon warm water or boil in 2 quarts of water for 20
minutes. (All drip pans cannot be boiled at once because element being used must
have a drip pan in place.) Do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or cleansers
not recommended for use on chrome. A bluing of the drip pans indicates improper
cookware selection and/or using excessively high heat and cannot be removed.
